EN52A
=N
52AEND
= 10.00
SOTFD
= 500 (This setting for testing should be kept some higher value,
after testing of SOTF function it should be kept as original value)

(Keep the Zone time delays {Z2PD to Z4GD} at maximum value for testing of
SOTF function, after testing of SOTF feature change these settings to original
gvalue)

Fault type cab be selected according to

the element being tested in the MTO
equation.
Enter the test point zone reaches
corresponding to element, which is
being tested in MTO equation and
keep the corresponding zone element
time delay at maximum value in the
SEL 321 relay.

Step 15

Step 16

In OMICRON Distance {Test View: Distance2

window Settings menu enter the parameters for
testing.
Apply rated DC input to the status input,
which has been assigned to breaker-closing
input.

Page 12 of 133

As soon as the DC input

applied to the status input
which has been assigned
to breaker closing input,
the fault should be
applied to create the
SOTF condition with in
SOTFD set time delay in
the relay.
